“We are very active and if we find the right candidates, we will spend the big money,” Wenger said. “We have already spent big and, until now, nobody has made a bigger transfer than we have in the country.

“Even if Pogba might fly from Italy to England, I don’t know, but overall we have made a big investment already and we are active.

“I believe we are active, very are active every day, and it’s not over. Today we are in July and the transfer market finishes on August 31.

“A lot happens many times in the last week so it’s a long time to go but we are active, we are working.”
